>Bryan Singer was considered to direct before Matthew Vaughn was hired.
>The original script features Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm and Beast being recruited by Charles Xavier to fight the Friends of Humanity in the 1980's. Rewrites changed the project into a reboot set in the 1960's, and further rewrites changed it back into a prequel.
>Early drafts featured a love triangle between Xavier, Magneto and Moira McTaggert, and Sunspot as a member of the Hellfire Club.
>Amber Heard tested for Mystique before Jennifer Lawrence was cast.
>Rosamund Pike tested for Moira McTaggert before Rose Byrne was cast.
>Benjamin Walker was originally cast as Beast, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Taylor Lautner auditioned before Nicholas Hoult was cast.
>Alice Eve was originally cast as Emma Frost, but dropped out due to creative differences and was replaced by January Jones.
>Bryan Cranston and Colin Firth were considered for Sebastian Shaw before Kevin Bacon was cast.
>Early cuts were poorly received at test-screenings, leading to mass reshoots directed by Singer to salvage the movie.
